Retroactively inching towards gold star lesbian status, one ex's egg cracking at a time. (this is just a joke btw, "gold star" status is bullshit)

My new bread lame is indeed much sharper than the knives I've been using, as my finger can attest.

I actually saw this coming, even though I think wisdom classes are terrible fit. But I guess doing yoga, plus autism related simple clothes and routines is a decently close a modern equivalent.

We started hearing fireworks and thought "it's January, did it happen?!" Nope, just football.

I've never even played Morrowind, but I've got this song stuck in my head. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR-K...

After a bunch of tweaking (a custom EQ and a downloaded close-enough convolver file) my laptop's audio no longer sounds like a tinny mess.

We already had this! We already have bases there, and already could have built more! It's like negotiating with the world's smelliest toddler. And somehow this absolute intellectual juggernaut thinks he's a master deal maker. I can't wait until he dies.

Moved to Linux. My muscle memory is very grumpy with the decision. Also the speakers sound like ass, which I think is EQ related.

Treasure trove in the kief catcher 🤩

I've never really had the "test I didn't study for" dream, but my brain did just spin that concept into "graduate dissertation I haven't started, but am paying someone to write for me the day before its due."

In-season clementines kick ass.

I do commissions now! Officially!

The mugs that Klingons use for blood wine in DS9 look almost identical to the metal pitchers we used to steam milk when I was a barista over 20 years ago.

Took a few extra days to fill the roster, but behold, 2026 calendars.

Got those tattoo day nerves.

Just finished Thirsty Suitors: South Asian generational trauma meets Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, in an RPG with skateboarding and cooking. Somehow it all works together. And not only can you pet the dog, you also have a secret handshake with him.

Had a dream that I got in daily fender benders with the same woman, just me accidentally hitting her car every single day. Nobody seemed terribly bothered, including the officer writing daily police reports.

Both of the big dishes cook for the same time and temp in the oven, which is less helpful given they went in 40 minutes apart.

Sorry Ernesto, but this isn't your email address. Please correct your PayPal account, because I don't want it. It has my name in it, how did you get that at wrong?

Taylor: What is the Grinch is a metaphor for atheism and now he's a Who Christian? Me: *pained groan* the words you said were bad and you should take them back.

Just beat Metroid Prime 4... that ending fucking sucked. You need to get 100% to even find out who the main antagonist is? And it's hard to build emotional connections to NPCs when the protagonist stonewalls like that.

LinkedIn doesn't need a year in review. It already means things aren't going great if I'm spending *any* time there.

What a fool. This is almost directly contrary to the entire reason people use Firefox instead of just sticking with Chrome/Edge/Safari.

What's happening, #seattle #trans & #non-cis #nerds? Our NEXT local Seattle Trans & Non-Cis Nerd Meet-up! Hooray! Come hang with us on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7 @ 2-5 PM at: Human People Beer Cafe (Near 62nd & Roosevelt - south of the Roosevelt stop on the Link) Great to see you!

Yeah that tracks. I played so much Cyberpunk this year. s.team/y25/mwqng?l=...

I don't get why so many ads are so coy about what they're for. No amount of sunk cost is going to make me buy a wheelchair just because I've clicked, but now you've had to pay for my click so I can find out what it even is.

Visiting @fadednick.dev and @sapiosiren.bsky.social and their kitties, and one has blessed me. ☺️

I assume that the pillow guy is running for governor of Minnesota to position himself as JD Vance's #1 choice for a running mate in 2028. He has undeniable expertise with both pillows, upholstery, and cushions, which I think Vance will demand from a VP.

TSA: Keep your shoes on Me: okay TSA: Those are boots, not shoes, you utter fool. Get to the back of the line.

Taylor, flatly: I'm not very fond of the people who organized 9/11 (Context, we're packing for a flight, and noting the differences between air and train travel)

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. (Battlefield Earth is utter fucking ass, but it was on HBO a bunch back in the day, and I think it's funny how many times I've seen it)

Aw, gee 💖

Missed my light rail stop because I was distracted a book. In my defense the ending was really hot.

Every AliExpress order I've placed (~10 of them) ends with the same 4 digits. Is that always true, or is that somehow just an outrageous coincidence?

Memorial piece for Leonard 💔

Oh boy, I've reached Profit and Lace in my DS9 rewatch.

Man, I thought open enrollment though an HR portal was bad enough, but doing it through a COBRA provider is somehow even worse.

Having hands always feels really weird for like 15 minutes after doing VR.

This Saturday! If you're a #trans #nerd in #Seattle, come join us for a gab!

Took a *bunch* of runs, but it finally happened

In Hades 2 I've gotten all the achievements, maxed all my upgrades, and max bond with everyone... *except* Icarus. This little twink is holding out on me but I *will* have him.

"You can handle Squidward rawdogging SpongeBob, but not loving him."

Sudafed is making this cold bearable, but I don't love how twitchy the stimulant aspect is leaving me.

"Video games are cool, but making them seems really hard, so I guess something else with computers," and then picking the same major as the HS friend I went to the same college as. Most of the past 20 years has been me going with the flow from there.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised about coming down with a cold after a vacation where I didn't mask. That's squarely on me.

When sci-fi has a robot or alien asking why something in society is a certain way, and the character responds "that's just how it is", it makes me think an autistic person should be part of any first contact. We all have decades of experience taking anthropological views of our own society.

The return Amtrak was way less awesome, and it's only partly because I didn't have another edible for it.

An annoying thing about bingeing book series after they're complete is how each one needs to include reminders about all the story beats for anyone who didn't read the previous entry just last week.

Finally got (mostly) used to the hotel bed on the very last night. 😩
